Interfaces - les affaires et la technologie a travers la vie de tous les jours (Paperback)

Ah, le Francais ... The Language of Business? Interfaces is a fully integrated, applied language series which targets business and technology at an intermediate level of French proficiency. Using natural dialogues and current information, your students will learn to communicate about the professional, technological, and personal aspects of business. Real-world scenarios introduce the skills needed to manage a variety of everyday situations: Job Hunting, Opening a Bank Account, Looking For Insurance, Calming Down Before an Interview or Business Meeting, and more! Here are just a few of Interfaces features:

• Dialogue sections demonstrate the practical application of vocabulary in a true-to-life context.

• Les mots pour le dire and lexique sections provide the English equivalent of often-missed French words and expressions plus a more in-depth study of specialized terms.

• Eventail de photos sur le meme theme lead-ins give a quick visual preview of each of the six modules in the series.

The lecture sections, drawn from a wide variety of recent documentation, include extensive skimming, scanning, cognate and reading strategy activities.
